Death toll in Iran protests reaches 2,000: Reports

By IH News Desk Jan 13, 2026 119
GLOBAL: International media reports indicate that the death toll from ongoing protests in Iran has risen to about 2,000. After days of restricted communication, some Iranians have begun making calls abroad, revealing a heavy security presence and widespread damage to public properties.

US President Donald Trump has raised tensions by suggesting military action to defend peaceful protesters and imposing 25% tariffs on Iran’s trade partners. These comments have sparked fears of foreign intervention in Iran.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk expressed concern about the violence and the potential use of the death penalty against protesters. 

Meanwhile Iranian state media reported arrests of groups allegedly linked to Israel. Israel says it remains vigilant but considers the protests in Iran a domestic issue. 

Iran warned of its strength against foreign threats amid the unrest that has been swelling against the clergy run repressive regime.
